The Home of Australian Craft Beer

Ale Stars is one of Australian craft beer's longest established institutions.

Every month at The Local Taphouse in St Kilda, brewers and beer people from across Australia and the world are invited to showcase what they do best.

For February the guest brewery is Two Birds Brewing, with co-founder Jayne Lewis and head brewer Wilson Hede heading along on the night. Anyone who wants to try the brewery's recently released beer tribute to David Bowie, Stardust IPA, should really consider getting themselves there too.

Ale Stars' legendary host, Shandy, will take charge on a night of beer banter, food, trivia and more.

Beer lineup:

Summer Pilsner

Taco

Pale

Double Sunset

Stardust IPA – the first beer from Two Bird's new pilot system

Tickets are $40 and are available from here or at the bar on the night. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7.30pm start.

The Crafty Pint is an independent online magazine and resource for anyone interested in craft beer in Australia. We bring an honest, old-fashioned journalistic approach to beer's brave new world, telling stories because they're worth telling not because someone is paying us to write them.

Like many of the people who have changed the face of beer in Australia, we believe in authenticity, integrity, enjoyment and love. We hope to play a role in helping good beer, brewed by good people, find its way into the hands of more drinkers.
